It's apparently not popular enough for them to bother forming widely accessible training classes for it.or even producing proper documentation. I just don't want to be Crestron's GuineePig on this stuff. Look, I understand that in programming, you have to spend your own time learning stuff a lot. You have already devoted a full week before you even quoted the job that you MAY get. Keyword, BID! You haven't even started the project, and haven't ran into any number of possible hurdles implementing the solution. You basically spent a week of your personal time, unpaid, poking around and researching in all places other than Crestron, to feel comfortable enough to BID on a project. You just backed up everything I said though. then again thats why they can use S# modules in SIMPL. However I think their best way forward would be to build a repository of useful functions that would act much like modules and provide better documentation on how to use these predefined functions to get a system up quickly. I understand they don't want to be responsible for teaching S# as it is alot more involved than SIMPL and would require a bunch of new classically trained techs on their end. We ned to remember this is a step in the right direction and all we can really do it encourage progress forward with future products/systems. I would not attempt S#Pro in residential yet due to the high customization of each project and the many unknowns of various IR drivers, sources, and integrated systems.

I see benefits for corporate and educational worlds where high scalability is desirable and most of the products are standardized & with decent third party protocols in place. S# in its current form is best used in a fully vertical Crestron system.
